OLYMPIC GAMES. London 1948. Art competition. Prouteau. Book : "Rythmes du stade" by Gilbert Prouteau (1917-2012), a beautiful copy of this collection awarded by the GP de Littérature Sportive when it was published in 1942. With an important dedication in 1944. The Vendéen Gilbert Prouteau was a happy artistic and cultural jack-of-all-trades, but also an excellent triple jumper (vice champion of France in 1939). Writer, novelist, lecturer, film-maker, it is perhaps in poetry that he was at the top of his art, in particular with this small volume, bronze medal of the Olympic poetry contest of the London Games, the last one in history. Alas. 86 pages. Rare. It is worth mentioning that this fabulous competition touching all the arts was also initiated by Baron de Coubertin (1863-1937) and that it operated between 1912 and 1948.
